The 70s? A festival of head-to-toe denim, suede fringe, and oversized glasses. Charming, nostalgic, iconic. Women fared better, with a truly endearing bohemian look. Then came the 80s… And let’s be honest: nobody really won. Over-the-top blowouts, garish colors, XXL shoulder pads—it was a tie in the style disaster. We love looking at the photos, but we’re very happy not to have to wear those outfits anymore.
The 90s-2000s: grunge, denim and the revival
The 90s marked the return of a feminine attitude, with a confident grunge style and a newfound freedom in dress. Women led the way. The 2000s brought a real improvement in cuts and fabrics. Denim was transformed, silhouettes became more streamlined, and a true stylistic identity began to emerge for everyone.
Today: fashion at the service of all personalities
In 2015 and beyond, fashion finally became truly inclusive and creative. Cuts were designed for all body types, colors were bold or subtle depending on individual tastes, and everyone could express their personality without conforming to a single trend. Paris Fashion Weeks prove it every season: boldness is everywhere.
In the end, women win this style duel by five winning decades to four — and frankly, we’re not really surprised.
The best fashion is ultimately the one that tells your own story.
